Oman’s Tanfeedh Lab, the national programme for enhancing economic diversification, has proposed to build a world-class scaffolding manufacturing project near the Sohar Industrial Estate, a report said.

The Tanfeedh Lab identified four major subsector contributors and two enablers with a total number of 21 initiatives and projects in Oman’s manufacturing sectors with fabrication of metals as one among them, reported Oman Observer.

The fabrication of scaffolding and its parts may be included along with manufacturing of downstream aluminium and steel products, Tanfeedh said in its report.

The project is expected to take 44 weeks involving three major phases and will be led by potential investors and supported by Petroleum Development Oman.
